Magnify Objects 100,000
Times With New Device
In all field* of science, no tool is
more commonly used than the ordinary
optical microscope, which can
give magnifications up to 2,500 diameters
Yet, despite the magnifying
power of these instruments, they
have not been developed to the point
where scientists can see everything
they want to see; as a result, inhabitants
of the smallest world,
such as viruses that pass through
the finest grain filters, have escaped
detection and analysis.
For years, scientists have beilieved
these sub-microscopic organisms
would be foreyer closed to
Ithem. But lately they learned oth*
Jerwise. Described at the meeting
of the American Philosophical so|
ciety in Philadelphia was a radically
new kind of microscope that would
, open up a realm of knowledge heretofore
hidden.
Developed over a several-year period
in the RCA laboratories at Philadelphia
under the direction of Dr.
Vladimir K. Zworykin, noted for his
contributions to television, the new
Instrument is an electron microscope.
Between it and the ordinary
microscope there is no resemblance.
Looking more like a large
telescope than the ordinary microscope,
it uses electrons (electrified
particles) instead of light to detect
1 the previously invisible organisms.
! The instrument is capable of magnifying
extremely small objects
100,000 times their actual size. With
this power, scientists may be expected
to throw light on the mystery
of how viruses and proteins reproduce
themselves, and also on the
structure of proteins.
Before its demonstration at the
A. P. S. meeting, the electron microscope
already had demonstrated
its worth. In tests, during which
enlargements were made up to
25,000 diameters, the $18,000 device
disclosed why streptococci have always
been seen in chain formation,
like beads on a string, and it revealed
for the first time how threadlike
growths connect each individual
organism with its neighbor.
Philadelphia Lawyer
Needed for Radio License
If you ever get the idea that you
would like to get a license from the
government to operate a radio station?don't
do it?unless you are prepared
to answer hundreds of questions,
intimate ones and other kinds
and be prepared to place on exhibit
scores pt confidential papers ranging
from your birth certificate to
when your Aunt Mamie had her last
operation. The Federal Communications
commission requires the applicants
to fill out a 41-page questionnaire.
If you or your wife has ever received
a parking tag, you must so
state; you must answer the ques-"
tion as to whether you or any person
identified with the proposed radio
station has ever been sued or
any proceedings brought against
you.
Was your dog ever picked up by a
cop for letting him run loose? Are
you divorced and if so, attach a
copy of the divorce decree together
with a complete record of the status
of all your ?^imony payments. Other
questions include "from what source
did the fund for this' investment
come? what kind of programs are to
be broadcast and how many sustaining
programs will you have7"
According to one writer, the questionnaire
appears to have been confected
by a genius with a high
I sense of responsibility but who was
not overlooking any hots.
Substitute for Old Chores
"Various factors in modern life
have made it more and more difficult
for growing children to take
an important part in family activities,"
says Prof. Ernest Osborne of
Columbia Teachers college.
"Chores in a city apartment or
even in a suburban home are almost
non-existent. It is only natural
that children are given little
chance to share in the remaining
responsibilities of the home or in
the planning of home activities.
"It is necessary for parents to
make conscious efforts from the
earlu st years of the child's life to
include him in the planning of family
activities and to allow him to
assume certain responsibilities for
which he is adequate. Only a's he
sets flic feeling or the satisfaction
that comes from helping to plan a
vacation or some ether project, will
he develop the basic pattern of cooperation
essential to good citizenship

Rol?in Hood Mythical
Symbol or Real Man
The gallant Robin Hood, unsurpassed
in archery, skilled in swordplay,
romantic and gay and full of
the milk of human kindness, is as
well-known and living a figure to
us of today as he was to Sir Walter
Scott, Washington Irving and untold
thousands of the years gone
by". In fact, he may be more of
a moving and breathing being today
than ever before, for Douglas
Fairbanks and Errol Flynn contributed
to make him a dynamic and
lovable figure on the screen.
But did the stalwart champion of
the common people ever really live?
The fact is there is no actually conclusive
historical proof that the beloved
robber ever lived outside ballads
and story books. J. Stacye is
of the conviction that Robin Hood
was a real man, but he adds, "A
clever analytical critic might, perhaps,
very easily cut up any theory
that has been given on the subject."
The first known mention of Robin
Hood is in William Langland's poem,
"Vision of Piers the Plowman,"
published about 1377. He is next
mentioned in Wyntown's "Scottish
Chronicle." After that the legends
pnd anecdotes of the stout-hearted
woodsman and his merry men grew
thick and fast. In Sir Walter
Scott's romance, Ivanhoe, Robin
Hood plays a proiyjinent part, and
appears under the names of DicconBend-the-Bow,
Locksley the Archer,
and finally under his traditional
name of Robin Hood.
Some historians and fiction writers
incline to feel that "merrie Robin"
was a man of flesh and blood,
though they realize the* want of historical
data to support them.
Original American Flag
Made in 1775 by Hulbert
This business about Betsy Ross
and the first American flag is being
stirred up all over again.
Betsy, says the Suffolk County
Historical society of Long Island,
missed putting together the first
American flag by a full year. The
organization has a flag to prove it.
Thousands of visitors to the New
York World's fair, it was disclosed,
have gone away startled after seeing
an inscription beneath a tattered
banner in the Long Island
Regional exhibit of the New York
State building there.
It reads:
"The John Hulbert Flag?Original
,Stars and Stripes?1775."
The banner, says the plate, was
carried by John Hulbert's company
of the Third regiment of New York,
from Fort Ticonderoga to Philadelphia
in the. fall of 1775. Repair
crews are said to have found the
flag in the walls of a house owned '
by Hulbert in 1775.
Its six-pointed stars are arranged
in the form of the crosses of St.
George and St. Andrew, set on a
blue field which ends at the sixth
stripe.
The New York group makes the
implication that it was from the
Hulbert flag that George Washington
got the idea for the banner he
had Betsy Ross make.
Hulbert's flag, says the Suffolk
County Historical society, was seen
by members of the Continental congress
in Philadelphia in the latter
months of 1775.
Selling Cats Legal
Milwaukee police recently ran up
against a stone wall after they had
taken into custody some boys who
were carrying a bagful of live cats.
The kids told the officers they had
picked up the felines all over the
city and were taking them to a man
who made fur slippers. They were
to get 50 cents apiece for the live
creatures.
But when they were brought to
headquarters, it was discovered that
there was no Wisconsin law or city
law which put a ban on the gathering
or marketing of stray cats. But
the police, nevertheless felt that it
was a rather inhuman business and
so something had to be doqe. So
they charged the youngsters with
disorderly conduct and turned the
felines over to the Wisconsin Humane
society.
But the city won't be confronted
with such a dilemma hereafter. The
head of the humane society is busy
drawing up a bill to be presented to
the next legislature banning such a
business.
Juvenile Laws Criticized
Despite a steady trend toward
more liberal procedures in dealing
with juvenile delinquents, legal execution
of children is still possible
4P many staters, according to Gilbert
Consulich of New York, legal
research assistant of the National
Probation association. Consulich
declares that the death penalty has
never' proved a deterrent to delinquency
or crime. Socialized and preventive
methods, he says, were far
more effective than harsh and brutal
punishments. Terming laws permitting
the execution of juveniles to
be relics of the day of the thumbscrew,
the rack and the faggot.
Consulich said. "In 18 states, certain
felonies, including capital
crimes, are excluded from the Jurisdiction
of the juvenile courts. In 19
states, the law gives the adult courts
concurrent jurisdiction over children.
usually in the older age
groups. In 31 states, Alaska and
the District of ^Columbia, juvenile
courts may* waive their jurisdiction
in favor of . rirninal prosecution.''

Use of Guard Rails
Being Discontinued
' Camden motorists who have had occasion
to travel U. 3. Highway 7G betwwm
Columbia and Sumter have
noted the absence of heavy guard
raila on the All through the Wateree
awamp willjbo interested to know that
the atate highway department has definitely
abandoned the use of guard
raila and yill In the future use
refiectorized markers.
Motorists who have occasion to use
Highway 7G have commented on the
absence of the guard raila and in several
Instances complaints have been
filed with the highway department.
This has resulted in a statement
from Highway Engineer Claude H.
McMillan who frankly states that the
highway department does not contemplate
erecting guard rails on the fill
and that the refiectorized markers
Just recently installed are not Just a
temporary measure but are permanent.
"The highway design and practice of
using heavy guard rails on highway
fills probably reached its peak about
ten years ago," said Mr. McMillan.
"At that time the Highway Department
was constructing highways with
a roadway width of about 28 feot and
installing heavy guard raila on fills
to prevent automobiles from running
off the fills, being overturned, and
the wooden frame bodies of the cars
((rushed. To run off of a comparatively
low fill over in an automobile
with a body of wooden frame construction
was almost fatal. The
guard rails were for the purpose of
preventing Just that.
"The roadway widths were narrow
and consequently any upset in the
vehicles meant that without sufficient
width to maneuver, or without strong
guard rails, the car would plunge
over tho side. Speeds of vehicles
were not nearly so great then as
they are now and It was much less
hazardous to Itft a strong guard rail
than It was to roll over down an embankment
and have the top of the
car crushed on the occupants.
'Today the situation is quite different.
Cars travel at a much more
rapid rate of speed and there are a
great deal more cars on the road to
pass. Also, the car today is constructed
of all steel bodies which do
not crush on the occupants nearly so
easily as did the old wooden bodies.
"When the manufacturers built
faster and more powerful cars they
had to go to steel bodies for safety.
Likewise, the Highway Department
has had to adopt Its road designs for
the new typo of cars using the roads.
All fixed obstacles which may be hit
by a car going at present day speeds
have had to he taken out of the way.
Today, with an all steel body car
traveling at a rapid speed, there Is a
much greater hazard involved in hitting
some heavy obstacle, such as a
concrete post of a guard rail, than
there is in rolling over with nonorushable
steel bodies.
"The causeway through the Wateree
River Swamp has a roadway
width of 40 feet and flat fill slopes,
as compared with the 28 ft. roadway
steep fill slope standard back in the
'guard rail days.* This Increase in
width is, of course, far more costly
than gurad rails and the guard rail
was not left off just to save money,
it was purposely left off because it
would have created a hazard.
"The present day practice in driving
a car at fast speed is more or less
a question of aiming the car, instead
of steering it as we did ten years ago.
Consequently, light refiectorized
guides have been installed along the
outside edge of the fill to mark the

On Kindness to Animals
(By Wclgar A. Guest) j
They have no voice to ask us ;
For the pity which they need,
With shame they canuot task us'
Howe'er their hearts may bleed.
However they despise us
For ail the hurts they bear.
They cannot criticize us !
Or say that we're unfair.
We call them God's dumb creatures, H
And yet we know they feel, H
For oft their anguished features
Their sufferings reveal. j
They cannot ask for kindness ~
Nor for our mercy <plead. (
Yet cruel Is our blindness )
Which does not see their need -v^|
